I hope everyone in the U.S. has a great holiday and I hope that all of my international friends have a great..well... rest of the week.

When checking my sitemeter I know that I get an average of 350 visits a day. My brother Kevin makes up for about 25 of those because he likes to Blog Block with his comments. Lawnwhisperer likes to do the same thing. They, well, I, call it BlogJacking.

Blog Jacking basically goes like this: I write a decent post about whatever, and then one of my brothers leaves a comment that is funny. The rest of the comments that follow are not about MY post but more about their comments. They Blog Jack my blog.

Today and over the weekend if you a regular visitor here at Poop and Boogies please leave me a comment. Even if you don't normally leave a comment, if you are just a lurker, please say "Hi", tell me how you found Poop and Boogies or just say where you are from.

Also delurking to say "hello". I honestly cannot remember where I first found the link to your blog, but I'm glad that I did!

No turkey here in England until Christmas (please - everyone make an effort to buy organic and free-range, so much better in so many ways) for which, much thanks - I'm never sure how you all manage to do the whole huge holiday thing twice so close together!

Hi! I read your site daily but have never commented. I live in Philly now but grew up in Langhorne, not far from where you did. I have a 7-month old boy. I think my husband told me about your site and I have been reading ever since. Happy Thaksgiving!

Scoob here - I work in Horsham - and my g/f lives in Hatboro. Not sure how I found your blog either... but the local connection is what got me reading it - and the humor keeps me coming back. I am one of those people who doesnt say much blog-wise... cuz once I start typing... I just don't shut up. Happy Turkey Day :)

I found your blog from Stacie's Just My Ramblings. She is one of my best friends and has kept me quasi-sane over the past few years. You might recognize me from the "Where were your underpants made game". Mine hail from the Maldives today(I wonder if they saw Tomcat there?)

You, Lawnwisperer, and your Mom make me laugh everyday. Keep up the good work.

I read P&B and Dadvsdad every day. Although Lawnwhisperer neglects his blog by posting sporadically. I think I came across this vis Dadcentric, but it's been so long I have forgotten. You guys are funny and have awesome families. That's something to be thankful for ( and your incrediable parents). I am from outside of Boston but I was born in PA (york). I even lived in FL (jax) for a year but it was too damned hot so we got out! I am 39 and have 4 kids older than yours. So i know what fun awaits you!

Hi...I visit your blog everyday. I started reading a couple of months ago. I went back and read from the beginning. I would be laughing out loud and my husband would come in to see what I was reading. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hi! You know me from AGES back. Met you via Kristine (R&O), and haven't left since. I even LinkyLoved you yesterday, although I haven't YET made the Pac Man Toast with Pictured Framed Eggs. But I will. Heart y'all to pieces, and you can't make me leave. *blows raspberry*

Hi. I've been lurking since my son was born. I'm Danielle, from Rochester NY. We have a 10 month son and we love your blog. The conversations between you and your wife remind me of the ones we have here. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Hi, I'm Sara, I found your wonderful blog I think, through Blogging Baby. My husband and I have been married for two years, and have been trying for at least a year to have one of our own. Your boys make my womb weep!

I particularly enjoy your writing... it's like one of those kid movies that has humor for adults too, and it's a great balance. One day, I can be reading about hipamaposis', the next marriage issues like opening pickle jars... and the next who knows? Keep up the good work!

Hi William! I can't remember where I found your site at, but I know I just had to read it once to know that I would be back. And I have everyday.

I'm from Oklahoma and I have 3 kids. A daughter that's 8, a daughter that will be 6 soon and a son that just turned 2 in August. I often read your posts out loud to my husband, well I try anyway, I'm ususally laughing too hard to make much sense.

Through you I stumbled across another blog that I have come to love. truthsandhalftruths.com love it.

Hi William, My name is Jennifer live in little beach town on Long Island called Bayville.... I usually post under the name "beachbumjen" if I delurk to leave comments on someone's blog. I think I found your site through Kami's Dallas K's, or her site through yours? I can't remember. I read your blog from the beginning and think you have a great sense of humor. I hope you and Lauren have a great Thanksgiving.

Yo, lurker here! I read your blog daily and was introduced to it through a friend who blogged & linked to yours. Her blog is no longer, but yours is bookmarked in my "favorites". I'm a mother of a 2 1/2 month old girl and a sahm.Happy Thanksgiving!

I have been reading your blog for about 6 months and it is the first one on my blogroll to read because I find it totally hilarious, and the stories of Max and Wyatt are adorable - and your wife is one kick ass women.

Lurker greetings! Julie from Portland, OR here - mom of a mid-life surprise baby who is unbelievably 2-1/2 now. Found you through DGM and check in every day for the giggle/guffaw/shoot diet Coke out my nose. Thanks for everything, and have a lovely holiday!

Hi. I'm Kitty. My son, who is an active blogger himself, (shameless plug: tuttletree.com) has a link to your page. I checked it out one day and Poop and Boogies has been added as one of my favorite daily reads ever since. I have 3 boys, but am child no. 6 of 8 myself, 6 boys and 2 girls. I just love all the stories, and can definitely identify with so many!Keep up the good work!

I've been here for over a year and enjoy all the family goings-on. I'm a grandmother and found your blog through another blog. My familiy is raised and gone and I fing it interesting to see the things that young families face today. You handle yours with a lot of grace and good humor.Many blessings on your Thanksgiving!

I don't know where I found your link, but I think my Mom said this is the only way to get to know you. She said this is the only way she can see her grandchildren.

I also like to read about how you ban Thomas the Tank Engine from your kids, but yet when you were little, you would cut pictures out of playboy and then put your friends faces where the other persons face was and then give them to people.

Happy thanksgiving!

If I have you for Pollyanna, How much is it to ship things 1000 miles away.

Fellow lurker here. Kris from Las Vegas. I think I found you through Metrodad. I dont have any children but my husband and I have 2 cats and a puppy. I read you and Metrodad everyday definatley because of your humor. You make me laugh out loud! Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been reading for wuite awhile, but this is my first comment here...I found you through the commetns over at KLOG...I already read Nilbo, and your comments made me want to come read you every day too :)

Hi Bill, I found your comment by searching Technorati for really funny comments by people named "Anonymous" and "Lawn Whisperer"Love,Stepblogp.s. Have a great Thanksgiving!p.p.s. 350 readers a day! Yowza!

Hi. I can't remember how I found your site. Possibly through blogging baby or the blogfathers. But it's hilarious, and I occasionally share some of your better stories with my husband, who laughs a lot at them as well. I live in San Jose, CA. --JMM

Never been here before in my life. Odd, really, since there's a link to you on my sidebar, and on the sidebars of 60% of the blogs I regularly visit. Oh wait... right! I know you!! I'm here virtually every flippin' day! Happy Thanksgiving, Bill!!

I've only been around for a few months. Made some comments on your blog, which are always related to your stuff, not the "anonymous" stuff. I started coming around because I saw your name on other blogs I read and was curious to see who this guy was who made the sometimes cryptic, and always amusing one-liners. I have you linked on my blog roll, by the way. (Not that you would know this, just giving myself brownie points.)

Hi William, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family for tomorrow. I don't lurk and try to comment as much as possible but I do love your blog - you're another one that makes me snort stuff on my screen and is therefore on my list of blogs not to read whilst drinking...

Hi! I can't remember how I found your site, but the why is because I was looking for a little male perspective into this parenting thing. I check it every time BlogRolling tells me you've got a new post up and I've yet to be disappointed! I don't think I've ever commented before as I rarely read the comments. I'm more interested in your first hand accounts than the feedback of the others, I guess. Although, if the comments are that riotus, I may have to start checking them out, too!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of your Family. I love your Blog and I can't even remember how I stumbled acrossed it, but I love coming here and reading it. I haven't yet stopped by your Brother's blog but I suppose I should one of these days.

I'm a regular reader, you already "know" me, but I found you through Kari's blog (newbabyk.blogspot.com) She got me started on blogging and most of my original blogroll was found through her. You were one of the very first blogs I put on my blogroll, I've been hooked every since. Still waiting for Mom o' Nine and "Williams Brother" to get their own blogs. I'm a regular reader of the LW too, but he doesn't post enough!Hope you all have a FAB holiday!!!Stacie

Hi, I am from Ohio. I don't even remember how I found your blog. Probably a link from some other blog I read. While I like most of what you write, there are days I want to strangle your little male self! lol...keep up the stories.

hmm, well, i admit i lurk around your website quite a bit. My name is Nadia; i'm from western Canada (though born in the Middle East & lived in the States for a bit). i surfed over from the "Truths and Half Truths" website because you had been recommended as a very funny, kind blogger. And that you are. The parts i especially enjoy reading are about your experiences raising your children because it seems you really have an honest, loving, open relationship with them and that (to me) is very cool.

I also read your blog regularly, but never comment. Everyone is funny when they start leaving comments. But I do read your page almost every day. Your boys are gorgeous and your wife is beautiful. I live in Kentucky, I have 3 kids myself. Two little girls ages 6 and 2 and my little baby boy is almost 4 mos old. I hope you and your family have a happy thanksgiving.

Hey Bill, I am Lori W.'s friend. I have been in your company for some fun times with all the Willow Grove Crew...I have not seen you since one Sunday at some bar you were working that everyone came to see you...not the big club inthe city...after that. Anyway.. I look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve each day. You are so talented and NEED to publish your writing. I love seeing pics of your family tied in with your humor. Your family is beautiful! But you know that already. Anyway...Happy Thanksgiving to you all and I will stop rambling in case you really don't remember who I am at all!!!!

Found you in my womb, and you lurked there for 9 months. Figure I can do a little lurking myself now! Who are these people? Wonderful you have such a following! You are one of the people I will be thankful for tomorrow and am thankful for everyday. I love you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Lauren and the boys. Hugs and kisses across the miles. Max, Look up! It's the moon! It's the moon up in the sky! It's big and round and I have found that it looks just like a turkey pie!

De-lurking from the CA Bay Area to say hello! I found you through Amalah a while back. You're posts are so funny I've even gotten my husband to read them! (he usually just rolls his eyes and asks if I'm done jealously looking at pictures of other people's kids yet...) Thanks for your great sense of humor!

Hi, William! I found you through Kalki's blog. I go there to see the links to all the cute guys. I know she adores me, but hey, I'm on the cover of Advocate so ... I mean .. really. What do I have to do, wear a sign?

You are sitting at 100 comments as I begin typing. A three digit number means many readers.

I think I found you at Susie's, maybe Nilbo's, probably Kristine's.And all of that reading goes back to the days right after Dooce had Leta and we made her comments zoom into three digits on a regular basis.

My house is in central Illinois, a smallish town but home to a big state university.I pedal my bicycle past cornfields when I have to go to a meeting at the church building.

I keep reading here because you have quite a perspective on how to handle what life dishes out, a quick wit, a patient wife and adorable children. Not to mention a mom and brothers who demonstrate the same tendencies.

Happy Thanksgiving!Maybe someday, your son will come home from college for the holiday, then mix and bake two 9x5 loaves of cheese and herb bread because dinner rolls were forgotten on the grocery list. At least that's what happened at my house.~~love and Huggs, Diane

De-lurking to say Happy T-Day from the Great White North. I don't remember where I first found your blog - maybe at Dad vs Dad - doesn't matter; I like to check out blogs with interesting names. And I like blogs that keep me laughing.

Hey, this is "The Bents" from the great state of Maryland (well okay, the small state). My husband doesn't really use the computer for much other than playing his games, so I (Dawn) am the main blog reader. We both have an amost 12 month old and we're expecting our next baby in April, so parent blogs are my main source for sanity. My sister actually reads your blog and during one of our many discussions about good blogs she turned me to yours!! I've been hooked since!! Keep bloggin! =)And Happy Thanksgiving!!

Delurking to say Hi. I come here daily b/c you make me laugh out loud. Max and my son Connor are very close in age too. I found you through another blog.I am at: http://afamilyofmooseinthewoods.comJane :)

Hi there. I'm Annalisa from the Netherlands. I found your blog through another blog. I'm sure that happens a lot. I really enjoy following you and your family's life. :o) Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

I am Kristi, mother of a 4 year old boy named Thomas (nicknames: Tommy, Mas) He is the love of my life and the best thing that has EVER happened to me. I was born and raised in Warminster, PA and now live in Horsham, PA. And I know you know where they are because you grew up right down the street. I was lead to your site from http://truthsandhalftruths.typepad.com/truths_and_half_truths/. I have just started reading your blog but I am sure I will be checking in ever couple days. Your children are adorable. My Thanksgiving was wonderful, except for the eating so much I almost puked part but hey that is part of the tradition!! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season!

Hi there! Tina from Detroit, mom of two boys...have lost interest in my own blog for a while, but that doesn't stop me from reading yours!! Found you from, well, I'm not sure but I'm glad I did!! Thanks for the laughs!

Hi Future Bill, you know us lurking-types... lurking at the park and birthday parties and the WP Farmers Market. We love hanging out with your fam... and you're not too bad either! Glad to know you all!

Hi, I'm Susie and I came to see you a long time ago after you came to see me. I live in Maryland, where I hope you will stop and visit me one of these days when you're passing through on the way to take the grandboys to see the grandparents. OR on the way back home. I'm not particular :)

Hi, My name is Peggy and I live in Sunnyvale, CA. I have been reading your blog for almost a year. I don't remember how I found it. I like your blog, you make me laugh. Your children are cute, your wife is lovely, and I get a kick out of your family.

A couple of days late, but I'm from Nebraska and a mom to three - a five year old boy, a three year old boy and a 7 month old girl. I don't remember how I found you originally, but I stuck you in my favorites column and have read daily (until recently when I've started back to work) and now its more like every few days. I enjoy your blog and your writing style! Hope you had a great Turkey Day!

Hey William,I discovered your blog when Chattababy linked to it. At the time we were preparing to move to Florida, so all of your exploits were very fitting! Now we are both living in sunny florida, and it is still a lot of fun to read about your family!-mary

Wow - way over 100 now. I'm Michelle and at this point can no longer remember how I found you. I'm lucky that I can remember my own name. I'm Mommy to 3 lovely ladies - twins (4 1/2) and the "baby" (2)

Hi! I think that I found your blog through my husband Ray, who comments sometimes.I am Missy from South Carolina, mommy to a 2 year old and a newborn. Your blog is funny... I think that my husband and I have some of the same conversations as you and your wife have. :)

I'm a lurker but there are worse things on this planet. I added your blog to my Favourites a long time back and I no longer remember how I came across it but I'm glad I did. Your blog is very funny and I read it somewhat regularly. Keep it coming! Oh I'm from Bangladesh, a 19 year old girl-woman.
